And then the story begins to unfold, rather quickly into the book (THANK YOU!), and I was hooked. Had it not been my finals weeks, I probably would have read this book in one sitting. There were so many twists and turns that I couldn't predict what was going to happen next - and I have a knack for that! I think women are more comfortable writing female leads because we understand them better. But Dan was just a wonderful character and easy for me to connect with, so I really enjoyed that aspect of the story.
The best part for me about this book is how original it is - I have read so many books in my lifetime and this one didn't remind me of any other. I have to say that I will be reading many of Sonia's books in the near future! You should too ;-)
